POETS OF ONE POEM.

Wolf. Gray, Woodwork, and Payne Re-
inenlbered for u single Poem.
An interesting list might be made OF single
poem poets, ami All instructive essay I've writ

Hamilton made many speeches, though hut
one has become famous And Charles Wolf
wrote more than the Burial of Sir John
Moore" yet by this poem will he always
be remembered. SO, too, George Withers'
Shall l w st,tIng in Despair" is only the best
known OF IA large number of pOeIns-some of
them quite equal TO it, from critical point
of view, perhaps superior. Shirley would
hardly he remembered by general readers bu:
for his tine ode, The Glories ot Our Blood
and State Thomas, of CelanO, would be
forgotten but for dies Irie," and those great
national hymns, the Star Spansled Banner
the "Wacht am l;hein," the "Mars..iliaist,"
and God Save the Queen" may be accounted
famous works of single poem poets.
Many people who talk of Ben Jonson
would b. puzzle'i To quote u single line except
from his Drink to Ne Only With Trims
Eyes and, though Walters mans. is well
known, he i more often recognized the
writer of the lime, girile than account
of anything else. ThonIsons Rule BRITANNIA
has earned him more fame than his "Sea~pns'
or his el,itaph on Newton; and more people
know Gray's "Elegy" than have ever even
The Old Oaken Bucket" but who wrote
"Beu Bolt" and The Old Continentals.'
1t is but seldom that one writer il fortunate
enough To produce two such well known
pieces Campbelrs "Hohenlinden" and "Yo
Mariners of England; while Dibdin, though
he wrote much that once was popular,
would he almost forgotten now but for Tom
Bowling" Such list might be greatly pro
longed Lady Ann I.ynd>ay's "Auld Robin
Gray" William Spencer's Death Of Gelert"
and Gays How Happy Could | lie. With
Either" might all be cited, and many more;
but enough has been said to- show how little
even the best critics can judge of "a poets
powers by single specimen, ami how much
accident il it can So be termed, OF one happy
line or one good melody may have To do with
the fame of IA writer who would otherwist, he

NOTES AID COMMENTS

The following communication by
Teter Henderson, in the American
Agriculturist may be Of use as we'll
as interest to some Of our readers.
On visit to the Catskill Noun
tains the past season, | stopped at
the farm house Of EdN ard Lnne, OF
L4nesville, near Phoenicia. Mr..
Lana, like many other farmers IN
taat vicinity, owns sawmlll, and
pays considerable attention to Fruit.
On one occasion, he found that a
lot Of sawdust had SOME tin duing
the winter been accidentally thrown
around the roots Of one Of his peach
IFsSsr "a depth Of a foot. As spring
cl.Se, he was astonlshed to find
That, while all the rest Of his peach
orchard was starting into bloom,
the tree around which the sawdust
h 4 been thrown showed no sign of
starting. Fearing something was
the matter, he began to DIG around
the roots, and, although it was the
first week in May, he found tie soil
frozen solid. The covering Of sawdnst
had been put on when the ground
was frozen, and, being an excellent
non- conductor, had kept it from
thawing, thus retarding the growth
ten or twelve days, so that by the
time the peach tree, thus beIated,
commenced blooming, all danger OF
late spring frosts, so fatal to the
peach crop, had passed. This Was
some fifteen years ago, but Mr.,
lane, acting on the suggestion thus
fortunately given, has ever since
covered his peach trees for six or
c,so5 feet around the roots with
about a foot Of saHdast, being care
iul, however, to do the covering in
i bruaryo or March, when heground
was deeply frozen. He claims that,
by this method. he never failed tc
secure crop of peaches, by thus
delaying the development OF the
luds until the danger Of spring fros
was past.
This plan is well worth adoptin!
in all sections where peaches anC
other fruits are injured by lat
frusts. Though Sawlust is perhap
the best material to cover with, YET

We cannot
but think that the gentleman whose

whose nights are made hideous by
the constant differences OF opinion
of the "canine fayorites' must be
of too 'hish-strung and nervous a,
constitution for the bracing air of
the plateau, and should recommend
a retirement to some secluded spot
far, from the madding hauntS OF
dogs and men where he could carry
on his importa 1t {? conversation
undsturbed, and utilize his leisure
moments in bringing up "well-
trained dog" who would never be
refractory or presume to have
differences Of opinion even with
his suffering master.
Even the august reunions of the
Social Club cannot, Ishopld imagine
be very materially interrupted by
the presence Of canine favorites, >
and dog of a devotional character
